Description
Mercury is a refreshingly unique game with roots in many genres. Mercury provides an addictive challenge through its simple gaming mechanic. Players tilt each level to maneuver the blobs of mercury, with various switches, platforms, obstacles, and hazards standing between level goals.
Powering Mercury is a sophisticated engine that calculates every gloopy part
of the liquid metal as it bends and melds around everything in its path. As the
digitized mercury smoothly ebbs and flows under such simple controls, players
experience the purest form of gaming.
While the controls are simple, the game itself is extremely addictive. Puzzle elements include splitting the mercury into several colored component parts, each affected by the degree of tilt, in order to open gates and activate switches. The maze-like environments require lateral thinking in order to navigate the mercury from start to finish. The sprawling 3D levels require clever, yet hit-yourself-when-you-work-it-out solutions.
